Trevor Frederickson graduated from Atlantic High School in 2006. He continued his education at Southwestern Community College in Creston, where he studied automotive mechanics and played baseball for the Southwestern Spartans. Two additional $750 scholarships will be available for Southwestern Community College students this fall.
Trevor, who passed away in 2009, had plans to pursue a law enforcement career and return to his hometown of Atlantic. “Anyone who knew Trevor knew he valued family, life, and community. Trevor continues to live on in our hearts and minds. To this day, Trevor still gives back to the community he loved to be a part of.” (Melanie Petty, mother of Trevor Frederickson)
Funds for the scholarships are raised at an annual golf tournament. Plans are underway for the 15th Annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 17th, 2023. Organizers look forward to another successful tournament so they can continue to grant scholarships for many years.
